- Involved in some discussion/debate about Goalkeepers ‘blocking & spreading’. My thoughts led me to the below doodle… Plenty of further factors to consider also 🧠 🥅🧤⚽️

00:00 - I still struggle to understand why much Goalkeeping pre-season training (& some in-season training) consists of repeated maximum effort actions for completely unrealistic repetition/timings 🤷🏼♂️ Can efforts be truly maximal if you’re repeating them for a sustained period of time!
- “Size is a mere visual representation of how tall/big someone is... how that person plays the game, makes decisions & projects their character is more important than that size”
